Amendment 01 - Attritable ISR Aircraft Request for Information

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is seeking information from industry on capabilities to provide low-cost, attritable unmanned airborne platforms for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The objective is to identify sources that can deliver ISR mass for operational utility and suitability in a rapid and affordable manner. The Government is open to all unmanned platform types and encourages innovative solutions. Key performance parameters include range, loiter time, cost per unit, and sensor performance, with the flexibility to upgrade communications, navigation, command and control, and on-board processing. • The aircraft should have a range of at least 200km from launch and recovery location to collection area, with an objective of 1500km. • The aircraft should have a loiter time of at least 4 hours in the collection area, with an objective of 20 hours. • The aircraft should be able to integrate with and provide necessary power for Sensor(s), Command and Control, and Communications systems. • The aircraft should have a cruise altitude and climb rate that meet mission requirements. • The aircraft should be able to operate in a variety of weather and environmental conditions.
